Dots and Stripes

I haven't played in the High Hopes challenge for quite a few weeks but I decided to use their dots and stripes challenge with the VLVMar2013 Week 4 sketch.  I coloured the sweet image with Copics and used Spellbinders dies to cut it out.  The spotty and stripey papers were from my stash. My flowers were a little bigger than the circle in the sketch but I decided to go with them anyway.

I will pop this card into my stash. Thank you for looking.

FOSTV65 - Easter

Our challenge today at Friends of Speedy TV (FOSTV65) is to make something with a theme of Easter.  I made several Easter cards for last week's blog hop and I have another to share with you today.  On this one I used bleach again and I have a very different finish to my egg because of the way the bleach reacted with the blue card.  I used the VLVMar2013 Week 3 sketch.  I used Gelatos for the first time on the background and some gel inks with sparkle on the butterfly.

If you play with the FOSTV65 challenge you could win the set called Island Life - it is a really nice set so it is worth getting those creative juices working.

As well as my card I have a little basket to share too. 

This one is going to my Mother in Law in her care home.  She will enjoy the assortment of chocolate eggs inside.  I need to make another for my Mum.
I used the rabbit from Garden Bunny on this basket and the paper is from Bo-Bunny - how appropriate!

Thank you for coming to visit - please let me know if you like what I have shared today.

Now this set is my favourite this month, as if you can't tell.  I probably didn't do it justice, low mojo right now, but I know I will go back to it time and time again.  I hope you enjoy looking at what I did create and also that you check out the ideas from the rest of the team. 

My second card uses the VLV Week 2 sketch with some Spellbinders dies I have had for ages. 

My last card uses the PEACE image from the set with this week's scripture from Word Art Wednesday.

 Spring Things

For my first card I used the little bunny and the Have a Hoppy Day sentiment using the VLV Week 2 sketch.  The DP and ribbon were in my stash and the colouring was done with pencils.

On this card I used just the tulips with some bright DP and a little Cuttlebug corner to make another Easter card. Another simple one - seem to be into orange this month!

For this one I used some bleach again. The fence is actually whiter than this in real life but getting photos on grey days messes with the colours.  The butterfly was coloured with markers after the bleach had dried. 

My last card uses some more spring coloured papers with the bunny from the Spring Things set and again will be used as an Easter card.  It was coloured with pencils and the sky sponged in while the image was in the die.
